Thaen, you've already been making some huge waves here, and it's awesome to see some official announcement of your involvement! Both you and Kallak have been outstanding beacons for this product, bringing it back to life.
THANK YOU!!!

@thaen I was fed up to the teeth with the destruction of one of my favorite tools when the Reforge hit and inertia and fear of communication took hold. I was so thoroughly angry at the situation that I deleted several full campaigns, leaving on the one that won campaign of the year.
I recently came back, intending only to scavenge data as that old game was being revived. I found trouble tickets being dealt with. I saw real, and often rapid, communication. I saw responsiveness in the site (it had grown sluggish in response time) that had been long absent.
In short, you brought me back. Not just back to being a user, but back to being an Ascendant and back to singing the site's praises to others. That is a huge accomplishment.
Keep up the fantastic work!

@DungeonMasterLoki, I'm really glad you're happy. But I can't take the credit. @Jynx001, @Kallak, and @noma4i were all here before I came along, so I just purely by luck inherited a great team. They were all already at work handling the trouble tickets, the rapid communication, and the fixing of the slowness.
